SON faculty and students uphold the profession's standards of clinical practice. These are based on the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretation Statements (ANA, 2015), Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (ANA, 2017), and Nursing's Social Policy Statement: The Essence of the Profession (ANA, 2019) and regulatory frameworks. Information concerning the professional role expectations and standards of contact for students enrolled in SON programs is located in Appendix B of this Handbook.
Students are expected to adhere to professional standards of nursing practice.

Ethics is part of the foundation upon which nursing is built. A code of ethics makes explicit the primary goals, values, and obligations of the profession.
